**All international students who were present in the U.S. in 2012 are required to file taxes. This includes students who did not earn U.S. income and scholarships.**

*F-1 students should not use software such as TurboTax, H&R Block, etc. These are for residents. If you use these to file your taxes, you will be filing incorrectly and could be subject to penalties from the IRS as well as jeopardize your legal status*

Taxes are due April 15th, 2013. If you do not have U.S.-based income or scholarships, your Form 8843 is due June 17th.

Tax Sessions

There are no more tax sessions scheduled for this year. However, you can contact ISS for info on how to file your taxes if you have not done so already. There are still free tax software codes remaining.

Important! Please keep a copy of the tax return and all documents you send into the IRS.

MN Property Tax Refund Returns

There are no more property tax sessions scheduled this year. You can pick up the forms and instructions in Anna's office (KSC 213) and complete them on your own.
You are not required to submit a property tax refund return. However, you may be eligible for a refund (you never owe money for this type of return).

Missing your W-2 or 1042-S?

If you have U.S.-based income or scholarships, you should have received a W-2 and/or a 1042-S (fellowship earnings or regular wages covered under a tax treaty). If you have not received these documents yet, you should tell your employer and ask them to help you get a replacement. You cannot complete your taxes without these documents if you have U.S.-based income or scholarships.

If you are employed by UMD:

• Check to make sure that your "home/permanent address" is listed as your Duluth address. If not, please update your address.
• W-2 Replacement: Go to the employee self-service website.  Click on “W-2 reprint”.  Select your W-2 form year (2012) and select print or email your W-2.
• 1042-S Replacement: You must complete the Request for Duplicate 1042-S form and fax or mail it to Payroll Services in Minneapolis.
